*Official* World Test Championship Final at The Oval – June 7–11, 2023

Kenneth Viljoen

International Regular
Rahane is very very good player, - Green not so in these conditions
Maybe we should play Neser instead of Green>? Im not even sure Green is better than Neser overall batting or bowling or both in these conditions. Neser is way better bowler.
Starc to be flat out dropped.

Khawaja
Warner
Labuschagne
Smith
Head
Inglis/Harris(no6 batter)
Carey(w/k - no reverse sweep)
Neser
Cummins
Boland
Lyon.
Starc will be very necessary for Australia in this Ashes ..If England will produce flat wickets you need someone like Starc who can take the pitch out of the equation with his skill of bowling Yorkers and at good pace ..He may go for runs but he'll get wickets if England go all out against him

You should be banned for selecting Marcus Harris ahead of Green.

I selected Neser ahead - playing role bowling all rounder which is Green's playing role , which he isnt good at in these conditions. flat dropped starc - up to 6 RPO. And prefer Inglis at no.6 position as a specialist batter - i rate Inglis, has been good in shield cricket, we need someone reliable at no.6 position.
